I'll do better. It's not like I want our cover blown, either.

Just keep your hoods up and your eyes down. If you walk around like you're supposed to be there, no one will question or look twice at you. It's about having confidence.

...that being said, we should make our way towards the big building in the distance.

… Yeah. It’s like, the one place that doesn’t look run-down around here, huh?

Let’s get our bearings together and go.

Which makes it seem like it's probably got something important going on.

So let's go!

[She says, tugging her hood even further down]

[ He just nods once, leading the way out of the alley and out into the city streets again, off towards the office building in the distance.

His eyes are forward but his ears are open, in case they hear any more gossip on the way there. ]

[off they go!!

THANKFULLY going toward the big building seems to be the best move, cuz...everyone is! There's SUCH a crowd near the entrance, with a bunch of wolves, both feral and humanoid, manning set up tables, trying to calm everyone as they try to sort out what everyone needs:

We need fresh food! We all can't eat meat like you guys!

My son is lost in the mist! Have you found him?!

Help, my wife was bit by the King! We need a mask!!

When can we leave? Where's the one in charge?!

Just a slew of worries and complaints. Also notably, with this many people, it's suddenly clear not all of them are sheep or wolves, literally. Some how scales on their arms or reptilian tails, others have antlers or rabbit ears.

Meanwhile, the glass double doors leading into the building are blocked by two wolves in sunglasses and suits because of course they are.

Somehow they'll have to find a way in.]

[ He ducks into the nearest alleyway for them to discuss, eyeing the building. ]

I think we have a few options... The front door is way too guarded, so we can try to go around back and see if there's a back entrance or some kind of maintenance door, or...

...we find a way to cause some kind of riot out front to distract the guards, and then try to get in through the front door. There's a pretty big crowd, it might not be too difficult to stir them into a frenzy.

We could start a riot. All someone has to do is throw something gross and then everyone else gets in on it, they'll have to go after them if we can throw it and then run...

I brought my animal beanie. I could do it and then change so they can't catch me?

Hm...

[ She curls a hand against her chin, thinking. ]

It's probably safer to think of something that would actually terrify them—the crowd already seems pretty riled up, so we can't let them focus on one thing, y'know?

[ poking his head out from wherever he was laying low ]

If you start a riot, the usual procedure for that is to completely lock down the area. Meaning, even if we get in we'll have a worse time trying to get out.

Could you at least let me try a little recon before we do it the Clover way?

It would be a good idea to note all of the entrances and exits before we try anything. If there's a door in the back, we could maybe pretend to be some kind of maintenance workers...

If we can figure out how to give ourselves temporary animal parts, like those things have. [ He gestures to the furries. ] It doesn't really matter if it's wolf or not, apparently.

I guess...

[ SHE HATES TRYING TO BE STEALTHY ]

But how do we disguise ourselves like them? Using... one of those masks or something?

Well you can't borrow my antlers, as magnificent as a disguise that may be.

We still have the costume coin.

Aww, c'mon, I can't pluck 'em off for a few minutes?

[ indignant but still quiet ]

THEY'RE ATTACHED TO MY HEAD!

It's fine, I'll superglue them back on when I'm done.

[ ears flatten back as he sulks ]

You guys have gotten way too familiar with removing body parts.

Only for cute things like you~

Heh heh heh…

[ lovingly ruffles his little head ]

Okay, okay, how about this? While Warden is out doing a little recon for us, I can use our weird hat for a few minutes—maybe see if I can grab a few for us. May be a fat chance, but worth a shot…

I'd be okay with that. As long as we're careful, it should be fine, right? So. . .

That works. If you can grab anything that looks remotely like a mask, that'd also be useful.

We'll likely still need to use Warden's coin for a better disguise, but it's a start.

Yep, but let's see where this gets us! Then...

[ She offers her hand; hat pls, Zenith. ]

I should go in looking like a wolf, right? I don't know if it matters, but...

[ A wolf in the literal wolves' den is about the best bet, she assumes. ]

I'd give you a little luck if we could do that out here but ...

You're gonna do great Spinel. If anyone's got this, you do.

[ wiggles to get out from his place being carried and giving an experimental sniff towards the shadowy side of the building ]

Then pass that luck onto me. I don't want to kicked in this crowd before I find a fire exit.

[ He hands it over. ]

Try to go for wolf, and don't take too long.
